Learn more about diver safety on the PADI Rescue Diver.

As with every activity, there are aspects of diver safety that need to be considered before any in-water exercises, and student divers want to learn more about diver safety on the PADI Rescue Diver course.

In the PADI Open Water Diver you have learned to control yourself, to get over mishaps and protect yourself by solving and avoiding some minor problems. In the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, you learned skills that were specific to particular dive disciplines, such as wreck diving.

Now, it is time to learn how to control an unexpected problem underwater and how to prevent them from occurring at all: in essence developing diver independence!

Check out the educational materials of our PADI pyramid of diver education we’ve set up at our Kota Kinabalu Dive Shop! Pick up the Rescue Diver Manual and browse through what knowledge is needed to pass the exam. Especially read the section on the practical skills and exercises that must be completed too – very, very fun and absolutely hilarious role-playing at our premier PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre!

Students also need to complete a 1-2 day course of first aid, on the Emergency First Response (EFR), because the skills are directly related to the Rescue Diver course – the PADI pyramid has the manuals for the EFR too!
